Fall Out/Fall Back

Oh hell and a half.
It’s happened again.
Behold, the apocalypse cometh.
The family is gathering,
Preparing every favorite stone to throw.
Don’t look at me like that.
Don’t lay this blame at my feet.
You fucked up. Again.
I’m not responsible for you
Or your thoughtless, immeasurably stupid actions.
THIS IS YOUR FAULT.
DO NOT IMPLICATE ME.
I am tired of this same old shit
Over and over and over again.
I’m not going to take your fall this time.
I’m not going to grovel for you anymore.
I won’t shield you from their accusing looks.
This time, you will deal with this.
I’m sick of protecting you
From the emotional graffiti.
I’m sick of doing this for you
EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Go away, go to hell, go far from me.
Get out, you walking disaster.
I’ve washed my hands, thrown the towel,
Walked away from your mess.
After this—
—————I’m through.
